I was at the announcement at Crown Casino today where Intralot was announced as a sponsor of Melbourne Victory. This sponsorship will raise the Intralot profile. Leo Watling, head of Intralot in Australia, drew a good analogy between the Victory’s launch in AFL crazy Melbourne and Intralot’s launch eight months ago in the face of very tough competition. The launch was well attended including good media representation.
The one controversial comment at the announcement was when Victory Chairman Geoff Lord answered a question about the AFL and their planned move to Western Sydney. He said the AFL would never get off the ground in Western Sydney. He then corrected himself and made it clear it was his personal opinion.
But Melbourne are still chasing a principal sponsor for next year’s Asian Champions League campaign, as gaming companies are ineligible as sponsors in that competition.
So they spend $2 million of the $9 million in sign on fees we paid them to sponsor a third party unrelated transaction,how about investing in the business to fix the games,how about investing and rewarding us the network thats had to serve these shit sandwiches they packaged for us to sell,how about some transparency and product updates on the alleged new games,how about an explanation as to where the tv show themed game and product went that was supposed to generate excitement and repeat custom to the brand and the games…no actually on second thoughts money spent on putting corporate snouts in the food and grog trough is a much wiser investment dont you think,give me a break

It looks like Greece isn’t funding Intralot anymore, Bingo only went up $25k instead of $50k. Or maybe they are screwing their players to pay the fine.
